Pizzaro did the same with the Incas. The Brits ruled India, a nation of millions, with a few 1000 men. After the initial shock and awe, most people are cowed.

Contrary to what many think most people are cowardly as shyt when it comes down to it.

Only a few thousand Spanish soldiers took over the entire Isthmus of Panama. After that, I believe only fiveish percent or some absurdly small number of the population during their rule over the natives was Spanish.

You could win battles easy but not the war.

The Romans were incredibly well organised. Where's your food and water coming from? Your field surgery and medication? How are you going to build artillery to break down a fort or a walled city's defences? Where are your navies? Who's going to do the navigation? Remember there's no satellites so you can't use GPS.

You got no chance winning a war with 100 trained soldiers, you need an entire army with a sophisticated command structure and with all the auxiliary defence contractors and non-combatants to do the jobs other than the fighting, jobs that are crucial to winning any war.

Your best bet in that situation is to walk to Rome, request an audience, demonstrate the power of your weapons, and then join up as the consular guard. You'd be the most high value military unit, the best paid, the one that gets all the special treatment, villas in the countryside with an ocean view and with dozens of fine hoes on deck for each of you. You'd have a great life and an easy job. But as for total power over the state, you're never getting that with just 100 guys

Contrary to what many think most people are cowardly as shyt when it comes down to it. Hell, the Romans were spooked when Arminius, wiped out 3 Roman legions and never bother with Germany after that. 100 dudes with modern machine guns could take way more than that out in a few weeks.
The British conquered India mostly with Indian troops. They had enough money to pay all those people. Not like they were enslaved and forced to fight. Same thing with Pizzaro.
Romans would just wait for food supplies to run out

With no maintenance/repair and restock of bullets/gas those humvees and guns gonna turn into paperweights quick

Just a few battles would be fought before beating the Romans. The power differential is too great. Literally like bringing a knife to a gunfight on an industrial scale

So let’s say 100 coli brehs, each with a machine gun, with a ton of bullets, 5 Humvee military vehicles are somehow accidentally transported to Ancient Rome at the peak of its power, can these 100 coli brehs easily takeover the entire empire with their weapons? :patrice:
once word gets back about how them Humvee's and bullets are mowing them down by the hundreds Rome would surrender.

trust me, ive been there, Romans not built like that :troll:

Easy...how many Spaniards conquered the Mayan? And their weapons weren't as advanced as this scenario

Yea, but they could always get reinforcements from back home. The 100 brehs know there will never be any restock or any reinforcements coming through the time warp in a month or a year or ever.

nikkas ain't conquering a province, let alone the entire empire. Take a scorpion ballista projectile to the face or watch your dumbass friend being crucified or raped by trained baboons in the Coliseum will have y'all switching shyt up quick. The better question is, could you survive eating the food or drinking the water?

My loyalties would be swayed quite easily with gold, food and what would most likely be false promises. I fukk with thecoli but i dont fukk with yall like that because I also fully expect some of you nikkas to eventually turn on me anyway for pawgs or someshyt.

No they literally had bodies upon bodies to toss at you. The machine guns would melt.

:wow:Coli nerds really think, that after a a couple hours at the range, they could go up against hundreds of thousands of thousands of killers who have spent the past 20 years of their life killing :russ:


Romans would make the Taliban look civilized.
Imagine getting captured as a POW. There is no Geneva convention. Those Romans would probably boil you alive :mjlol:


Edit: I forgot crucifixion

:wow:
